Grace Under Pressure, Hold Your Fire, Roll The Bones, Vapor Trails and Snakes And Arrows are all much better than Signals or Clockwork Angels.

Nope. None of those albums are. Several of them aren’t particularly good for that matter.

With those I’d rank like this:

Signals
Grace

HYF
CA
VT

Bones

Snakes

I’d go:

Signals
CA
GUP
Snakes
VT
CP
RTB
T4E
PoW
Presto

HYF (but it makes an OK coaster)

There’s nothing on HYF that I dislike but there are a few on CA that I do. But where CA is good, it’s really good.

There are plenty of tunes that I dislike on Bones and Snake.

The whole stretch of, really, PoW - T4E is filled with mediocre or worse songs. But HYF is the album that pushed me away for a very long time.

For me, there are a lot of mediocre or very bad songs between Bones to T4E. T4E though doesn’t have anything I dislike...it’s just that I don’t care about most of those songs. Sooooo, T4E is third from the bottom for me.

And having just listened to HYF this evening, I think I would actually put it over CA.
CA is a mix of good, bad, and I don’t care about.

Ah well, even Rush can’t win over all of their hardcore fans with all of their albums.
